Tu Espina Rocosa

Great Lake Swimmers

Your Rocky Spine

I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes
That your body makes
That your body makes

And the mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it

Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine

I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you

And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell, then and there, we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display

They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair

Tu Espina Rocosa

Estaba perdido en los lagos
Y las formas que tu cuerpo crea
Que tu cuerpo crea
Que tu cuerpo crea
Que tu cuerpo crea

Y las montañas dijeron que podría encontrarte aquí
Susurraron la nieve y las hojas en mi oído
Seguí con el dedo tus senderos
Tu cuerpo era el mapa, estaba perdido en él

Flotando sobre tu espina rocosa
Los glaciares te formaron, y ahora eres mía
Flotando sobre tu espina rocosa
Los glaciares te formaron, y ahora eres mía

Estaba cruzando tu capa congelada
El cielo estaba oscuro pero tú eras clara
¿Podías sentir mis pasos?
Y ¿te quebrarías, te quebrarías, te quebrarías?

Y con tus suaves dedos entre mis garras
Como pureza contra resolución
Podía decir, en ese momento, que estábamos formados del barro
Y venimos de las rocas para que la tierra nos muestre

Me dijeron que tuviera cuidado allá arriba
Donde el viento sopla una furia venenosa entre tu cabello
Me dijeron que tuviera cuidado allá arriba
Donde el viento sopla a través de tu cabello
